Review PlanetScale?

Reviewers mostly praise PlanetScale for its developer workflow, especially database branching and schema changes that feel close to Git, making feature work and migrations easier. A user notes some extra CI scripting is needed, but still calls the branching workflow the best they’ve used. Founder feedback from the makers of Context.dev and Octolens also highlights easy setup, zero-downtime schema changes, and solid scaling. The main complaint is pricing, with one user saying costs were unclear and too high after the free tier disappeared.
